Raul Ibanez was somewhat of a fan favorite during his tenure with the Seattle Mariners . When he fled to the Philadelphia Phillies , Mariners fans were disappointed, but who could blame him. Seattle is in a unique position where they don't really have a veteran power hitting guy on the roster to carry the designated hitter tag. Typically, you would like to give that designated hitter spot to a left power hitting guy who can give you 25 to 30 home runs and a decent batting average. He wanted a World Series ring, and the Mariners weren't going to give him that opportunity. It's no secret that Ibanez's skills have deteriorated in the last three or four years. While you want to give Montero as much as game reps as possible, you would prefer it being at the catcher position, even if he isn't quite there yet defensively. He's 39 years old, and has maybe a season or two left before he has to call it quits.

Does anyone own an Ibanez S series guitar? If so, what are some of the positive, or negative aspects to it.
I don't own one but my friend does and I've played it a couple of times. I'm not a fan of Ibanez electrics but for some reason I like the S series models (the S470DXQM) in particular. I love the quilt maple and the fact that it weighs pretty little.
I have ideas, I'm just curious to see what other opinions are out there. I'm looking for something like an August Burns Red type, so I still need a generally high output.
If you don't mind active pick ups (requires 9v battery) you can go with EGM81 or Duncan black out. Duncan Dimebucker and Screaming Demon are nice and high out put, DImarzio X2N is my favorite as well.
